Are there any Local Virginia Beach Lenders out there?
I keep getting people suggesting different lenders but once I look on BBB or Facebook there's tons of bad reviews. How do you rate and judge a lender? I plan on using my VA Loan on a home I have picked but the lender has been the hardest thing I've had buying my second home.
**DISCLAIMER PLEASE DO NOT JUST SAY HI I'M _____ I HAVE A LENDING COMPANY AND WE'RE GREAT! IF YOU ARE A LENDER EXPLAIN WHY YOU ARE BETTER...EVERYONE ELSE HELP NAVIGATE ME THROUGH THIS PROCESS AGAIN.
